"When I was 16, I worked in a fairly nice dinner house in Washington State as a server. Since the restaurant was located near a good-sized airport, the establishment got a fair amount of "tourist" traffic, despite the small size of the town in which it was located. One evening a couple came in to dine and the gentleman ordered the Chicken Fried Steak. When I served him his food, he seemed happy enough...until a few moments later when he called me back to the table. "I ordered Chicken Fried Steak," he exclaimed. "You've brought me beef." I was thunderstruck. I tried to explain that Chicken Fried Steak is indeed steak fried like chicken, to no avail. The man stated that he was absolutely certain that the meal was chicken based, and that he knew it was made with chicken because he had "had it many times before in restaurants at home." He refused to eat the meal (still claiming it was prepared incorrectly) and insisted I take it back to the kitchen to have it re-done. I complied and returned the meal to the kitchen to try to explain to the chef what had happened. After the chef and I finished laughing hysterically, the chef went out to the seating area and tried to explain to the man that Chicken Fried Steak is actually a beef dish (you'd think the word "steak" in the name would be a dead giveaway), to no avail. After many minutes in conversation with the chef, the man finally allowed that he (and the rest of the human race) could "agree to disagree," ordered another dish, and happily consumed every scrap."

I read it. She went into an abusive relationship willingly and with eyes wide-open, and at one point lamented that she didn't have the "agency" that she willingly surrendered. The abusive boyfriend was right, you do paint yourself as a victim when really you just don't make very good decisions. edit - Well, a bad decision. The rest of it sounds ok. The word "agency" when used in that context just irritates me. Why do women make so many dumb decisions when it comes to men? I think "but I love him" has ruined more lives than any other 4 words in existence. GORDON fucked around with this message at 22:37 on Sep 15, 2014 |

you misunderstand abuse and common harmful expressions of desire that ensnare many, especially those traditionally oppressed, who have been raised to hate themselves and make decisions against their own interests and wellbeing

GORDON posted:Why do women make so many dumb decisions when it comes to men? hey, good question. this isn't rhetorical. there are manifold systemic mechanisms in play that preclude agency. people make their careers exploring just such issues. also it's not just women making dumb decisions in relation to their desire. if making such severely bad decisions in relation to oneself is so common, there must be actual reasons that don't involve handwaving and/or "that's just how people are." nomadologique fucked around with this message at 22:41 on Sep 15, 2014 |

After his death, my mom planted a rosebush in Jason’s honor, in the backyard garden that he helped till for my parents when we first started dating. “I wanted to choose one that made sense for Jason,” she told me. The one she chose is called Knock the poo poo out of dumb daughter.

Knock Out roses are the most ubiquitous rose, if not plant, in all American landscapes. It is literally the least unique plant option, a favorite of McDonald's and other parking lot landscapes. Horticulture knowledge, wow.

Her life was hell because she grew up with her parents in the suburbs. Anyone would do anything to get out of that.

Race Realists posted:the whole loving article could be described as The flowery prose kind of annoys me. It's like she was more concerned with finding turns of phrase than anything else and in doing so she romanticises the relationship to a disturbing extent. That said, she did manage to capture to some extent the manner in which both the parties in abusive relationships revise the facts to create their own narrative. It's galling that at the end she's still looking for "explanations" which make him non-accountable (stating that he must have been manic and therefore not responsible for his actions when she offers no evidence that his disconnection from reality was sufficient for him to be absolved of responsibility), but that's something people in abusive relationships actually do all the time - it is she who casts him in the role of victim.

Then again, she points out that she's doing it - which means she's aware of it, and might no longer quite believe the excuses she comes up with.
